Gas Relief ?   Maybe not .

Barack Obama Opposes Immediate Gas Tax Relief For American Families. Obama: “I think John McCain’s proposal for a three month tax holiday is a bad idea.” (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Campaign Event, Blue Bell, PA, 4/21/08)

He wants to institute the windfall profit tax upon the oil companies similar to carter’s adminstration which have forced americans to suffer with the raising gas prices back in 1970s.

McCain 2008!


A blog about Presidential Candidates

I have came across a blog that Denny posts about the events that occured between two candidates who are McCain and Obama.  He shares very good articles and is very informative!  Go check it out at http://777denny.wordpress.com


McCain is not Bush’s 3rd Term!

Everywhere and everytime I read the political section…especially political blogs, I see people accuse McCain as McBush, Bush’s 3rd term and etc.  Guess what ?  He’s not bush’s 3rd term!  If he is really is Bush’s 3rd term then he would be continuing whatever Bush have left off.

Obama will be continuing whatever Bush have left off in the terms of ecomonics which means that Obama will be issuing more tax rebates when he feels its necessary.  Well the first tax rebate that was passed by Bush is not working…so why do we need much smaller rebate that is visioned by Obama if that card is already been Played by Bush….ah Obama is the Bush’s 3rd term.  McCain’s plan to improve the ecomony is not the tax rebate plan (surprise surprise!  Not so bush as you think ?)  McCain’s plan is to increase the dollar by making it stronger while drop the oil prices which means getting the out of control inflation in control!  In addition to improving the ecomony, McCain will cut the corportation taxes down to 25% from 35% which will simulate the job creatation in the corporation while Obama wants to increase the tax to the wealthy americans….so think about this.  If we increase the tax against the wealths especially for those of them who runs their own business, they will start laying off lower class americans to preserve the cash flow.  Its always cause and effect.  Obama have no plans to get the inflation in control….hmm….McCain plans to maintain the current tax rates in captail gains and dividends while Obama wants to raise those.  McCain is winner again.

Of course, we all want to end Iraq War now…but if we end it prematurely…we are throwing in the white towel do we really want that ?  For me, I think not that will show US as wimpy country!  Obama wants to start the withdrawal from Iraq….violence have gone down at Iraq right…so why throw in the towel we got it in control so we can help the Iraqis to establish their government.  Once they are established, we can bring our combat forces home while maintaining American PRESENTANCE at Iraq for 100 years.  Obama twisted the word by 100 years of war.. McCain never said it:

His latest remarks come in response to repeated attempts by Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats to argue that McCain supports maintaining troops for a 100 year war in Iraq. Instead, McCain has repeatedly said on the trail during the past few weeks that he is talking about a long-term post-war military presence similar to the ones the U.S. has with South Korea, Japan and Germany–where the U.S. has maintained troops for more than 50 years.

Obama twisted McCain’s statement of 100 years in Iraq….oh who other leader twisted words too ??? oh Bush!!!!

Obama twisted the words of Republican John McCain, saying he has suggested “war” might “go on for another 100 years.” McCain expressly said otherwise. He said a 100-year presence would be acceptable in the absence of violence against U.S. troops, and later said “the war will be over soon.”

Oh there’s something shocking, Obama claims that he doesn’t like to accept donations from the Oil companies, while he secretly accepted donations from people who works in the oil industry.  Gee who used to work in Oil Industry ?   Oh he’s the current President.

So Aroniza have been electing him for more than 20 years as their state senator, if he is worse than Obama who only served for Illnois for only 3 years.  Tell me how because I don’t see McCain worse than Obama.  And a wild thought…..Obama’s middle name…”Hussien” and his last name is so close to “Osama”  We are still recovering from the damages from the 9/11 attacks, I still can not trust a guy who have the Muslim like names and have the terrorist connections as the Tennessee Democrat (same party gasp!) suggests.

Vote McCain ‘08!

Research before you link someone to Bush.

Don’t buy the BS from the campigans if the records shows differently,  so Obama IS NOT THE ANSWER for the America unless you want to see another Great Depression because doubling the tax in stocks do have the possiblity to trigger the depression because it will make me to stop trading as well as another fellow investors expressed the same response.  McCain will take care of us as he have been serving for the AZ people for more than 20 years as their Senator while Obama only served 3 years for Illnois ?  That’s shows huge difference in experience.

Another Reason Why Clinton IS NOT FOR PRESIDENT

She tends to have her husband to defend for her…what kind of leader that is so weak that needs somebody else to stand up for the potential leader so often ?  That shows big weakness, that means that President Clintion will be assuming the presidency once again in the background as this pattern implies as the President Clinton have been defending her wife so often.  Hmm.  Do not vote Democrats!

Senator McCain and Disability Rights

The fellow blogger talks about the Senator John McCain have been adcovate on the disability rights and that he had been served for Gallaudet’s Board of Trustee for 11 years while he was in Senate.  If you are still not sure who to vote for, you should check out that blogger’s entry.

John McCain for President 2008!


Hilliary Clinton NOT for President 2008.

Let me start you off with a brief yet most exciting US history!! Her husband, Former President Bill Clinton unveiled the universal health care back in 1993 and he have appointed his wife who is now running for president to over see this committee. See that was more than 15 years ago and its not established and running ? What up with that ? So why would we want a leader who can not finish a weee simple leadership job that they were assigned to complete ? It can be found at here.

So how can she lead us out from Bush’s empire and flee us from the United Oil of America back into United States of America ?


To me, she is no different than our current president Bush with his millions of failed efforts! So why do we want another Bush ??

Think long and hard.


The Congress of United States is Giving In to President Bush for War Funding

Is it me or the Congress is giving it in to President Bush ??? Approving the $70 Billion dollars more for the wasteful Iraq War ?? How fu!@#$ked up is that!? I thought we are going to commerce the partial troops withdrawal but issuing them extra $70 Billion Dollars implies very differently which is that the war will go on! The Congress of United States, are you deaf and blind ?? The Americans have spoken loud and clear that we frown at the War which where it is going right now and yet you are still writing new checks to President Bush to continue the directionless, pointless war ? Wake up and, stop slacking and get on the program! Also, get your priorities straight!!! Start with the social security reform for the starters, and you lazy lawmakers already knew that the social security is going to bankrupt and you are still throwing money away to President Bush ? Wake up and smell the coffee for crying out loud!!

My rant response to this article at http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/12/bush.war.funding/index.html?iref=mpstoryview


Wasteful Spending Said by President Bush.

Wasteful ? How can it be wasteful if our Social Security is struggling to make their ends to meet as well as our American Schools are extremely underfunded and the NCLB (No Child Left Behind) is making very little or no impact to our education system as the federalized test scores from among of US students continues to drop from the day the NCLB law was passed!  How about insuring all those uninsured American children and you vetoed those bills ?  It appears that your oil empire is more important to you than serving the Americans, you will be sorry a$$!!!

The truth is that the wasteful spending is the freaking wars!!!! President Bush, yes you heard me right! You are wasting BILLIONS and BILLIONS of US Dollars on the pointless wars and you are crying for $50 Billion dollars more just to start the troops withdrawal ? Gimme Break!!! Mr. President, you have been asking for the extra war funding for like what ? 50th time for last 4 years. Also, how many times have you tried to reform the Social Security ? Probably only twice…..wasteful huh ? I think not since almost all of our domestic programs are extremely underfunded.  And, don’t forget that the tax dollars is NOT YOUR money, its the Americans money who paid in taxes!

A piece of advice, think before you speak, because you are bound to be caught.


TSA Proposes To Require Airlines to File its Flight Plan in 72 Hours in Advance

US demands air passengers ask its permission to fly

If you’re not on the list, you’re not getting on

Published Friday 12th October 2007 13:18 GMT

Under new rules proposed by the Transport Security Administration (TSA) (pdf), all airline passengers would need advance permission before flying into, through, or over the United States regardless of citizenship or the airline’s national origin.

Currently, the Advanced Passenger Information System, operated by the Customs and Border Patrol, requires airlines to forward a list of passenger information no later than 15 minutes before flights from the US take off (international flights bound for the US have until 15 minutes after take-off). Planes are diverted if a passenger on board is on the no-fly list.

The new rules mean this information must be submitted 72 hours before departure. Only those given clearance will get a boarding pass. The TSA estimates that 90 to 93 per cent of all travel reservations are final by then.

The proposed rules require the following information for each passenger: full name, sex, date of birth, and redress number (assigned to passengers who use the Travel Redress Inquiry Program because they have been mistakenly placed on the no-fly list), and known traveller number (once there is a programme in place for registering known travellers whose backgrounds have been checked). Non-travellers entering secure areas, such as parents escorting children, will also need clearance.

The TSA held a public hearing in Washington DC on 20 September, which heard comments from both privacy advocates and airline industry representatives from Qantas, the Regional Airline Association, IATA, and the American Society of Travel Agents. The privacy advocates came from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Identity Project. All were negative.

The proposals should be withdrawn entirely, argued Edward Hasbrouck, author of The Practical Nomad and the leading expert on travel data privacy. “Obscured by the euphemistic language of ’screening’ is the fact that travellers would be required to get permission before they can travel.”

Hasbrouck submitted that requiring clearance in order to travel violates the US First Amendment right of assembly, the central claim in John Gilmore’s case against the US government over the requirement to show photo ID for domestic travel.

In addition, the TSA is required to study the impact of the proposals on small economic entities (such as sole traders). Finally, the TSA provides no way for individuals to tell whether their government-issued ID is actually required by law, opening the way for rampant identity theft.

ACLU’s Barry Steinhardt quoted press reports of 500,000 to 750,000 people on the watch list (of which the no-fly list is a subset). “If there are that many terrorists in the US, we’d all be dead.”

TSA representative Kip Hawley noted that the list has been carefully investigated and halved over the last year. “Half of grossly bloated is still bloated,” Steinhardt replied.

The airline industry representatives’ objections were largely logistical. They argued that the 60-day timeframe the TSA proposes to allow for implementation from the publication date of the final rules is much too short. They want a year to revamp many IT systems, especially, as the Qantas representative said, as no one will start until they’re sure there will be no further changes.

In addition, many were concerned about the impact on new, convenient and cash-saving technologies, such as checking in at home, or storing a boarding pass in a PDA.

One additional point, also raised by Hasbrouck: the data the TSA requires will be collected by the airlines who presumably will keep it for their own purposes – a “government-coerced informational windfall”, he called it.

The third parties who actually do much of the airline industry’s data processing, the Global Distribution Systems and Computer Reservations Systems, were missing from the hearing. ®

How fucked up is that!? The more government control we have to suffer just trying to comply with the government the more hassle it gets the less fun the travel gets and they are slowly killing the one of the transportion sector which is the airport.

US Government, you need to really think this through, will it help the world enomony ? No ? Of course you are going to kill the airline industry and the tourism! Therefore, you need to chill out! Take some prozac for crying out loud!
